When I Get Home: Songs

"I carry this solemn mug around in public to encourage strangers to mind their manners," says Garrison Keillor of his stoic facade, "but when I get home I am glad to make faces, quack like a duck, dance a little dance, and even sing a little. For many years now I have felt at home on the radio." Here are some of the songs he likes to sing in his radio "home," accompanied by the Guy's All-Star Shoe Band; some have new words for a familiar tune, others are completely original, but all full of Keillor's warmth and wit. Among the 16 tracks here are "My Grandfather's Clock," "My Love Is Like a Red, Red Rose," "My Minnesota Home," "Nearer My God to Thee," and "Goodbye to My Uncles."
